What is wrong with our society today?

It’s not about having an amazing life anymore. It’s about making a mediocre life look great on Instagram.

Everything is about appearances. But so many people fail to realize that getting likes on Facebook is just as useful as having a lot of money in Monopoly. It strokes people’s ego, but what’s the end result?

Have we really become so blinded that looks are more important than the message behind them? Nowadays, we idolize ‘famous’ people, even when we don’t even know what they are famous for.

Books are judged by their covers far too often. Be it their weight, the size of their houses or how much money they have in their bank accounts. People are labeled not by their values and personality but by their appearances.

So many people live their lives in pursuit of more wealth, power and influence, but are never content with what they have. We have become too obsessed with material things, to the point where people would do almost anything for money.

Only about 30% of people truly like their jobs. The rest? They spend so much of their time doing something they don’t enjoy, just to get more money. Can’t we do better than that?

On a funny note, The Victim’s conversation would be something like this:

Hey, I’m drowning in this lake, would you mind calling for help or at least running the video you’re taking through an Amaro filter when it goes on Instagram so my death can be replayed in an aesthetically satisfying hue. Don’t worry, my demise isn’t a huge deal – now if your video is being recorded vertically, that would be tragic.
